    Builds Paul R's BJ73 (Milo) Restomod Build

    Thanks! Unfortunately, I haven't fired everything up yet. but I am excited that the RaspberryPi5 will likely increase boot time even more in the future so I'm fairly confident it will be a viable solution. I'm leaving myself hanging this year as well. I really haven't made any progress on this...

    Builds 1997 HZJ77HV-PEU Build (Grey Poupon)

    Looks amazing on the door cards. I'd love to have a set cut. Some Toyotas had a factory 24VDC->12VDC converter behind the glove box many have them there aftermarket. I am also planning to use a Redarc 12v charger to a 12v battery for 12V needs as well. I am hoping to mount it on the firewall...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    I have the 12.5 and think it is perfect for keeping a spare tire under there still. If it is a change (I suspect it is slightly lower) it is minimal.

    Hello new guy here

    There is a lot of wear for the number of KM in some of the photos and that usually leads to things you can't see. Also are the tops of the rear doors around? Have you looked under the carpet to confirm no rust? As far as your LS swap is concerned just remember that it has offset axles so you'll...

    Hello new guy here

    For California registration I mentioned a bit above that it won’t be cheap easy or quick. I tried to link from FB but it didn’t work. There are some good FB threads that give some more detail in the 70 Series Land Cruisers - North America group. If you join that group and search California...

    Hello new guy here

    Motor is a bit of a bummer if you didn't know what you were getting and not planning to swap, since eventually they almost all do. But honestly a 3B has a lot to be desired if you intend to drive on the freeway so it isn't a real gem in my mind. But as others have said the rest of the vehicle...

    Changing Head gasket Bj75

    You probably already know this but it appears that you have a late model 3B engine commonly known as a 3BII. I suspect so because of the year but also your valve cover in your photo is a tip off. It is pretty similar to the 3B but has a bit different manifold layout. The good news is it seems...

    Builds The '93 Troopy Hodgepodge

    I really liked your idea about going Porsche Chalk Grey.

    The new guy and gal. We did it. We bought a troopy

    Welcome! Looks like it will be a pretty blank slate for you to give a lot of love to. Lots of adventure ahead, you are in a great spot for learning from the best. Plenty of really cool Troopy builds here to learn from!

    Hello new guy here

    Welcome. What are your plans for the engine? If it is a VM it isn't likely worth repairing. Planning to swap something else in?

    Builds Paul R's BJ73 (Milo) Restomod Build

    Thanks! It is a long ways from being ready to go, but I'm excited to see how it does. I purchased and had an H152 converted to fit the 1HD input shaft from Australia. It will be nice to have the .75 OD gear which will hopefully be a bit better for highway speeds. I'm hoping to get some time to...

    Builds 1988 BJ74 “Number 1”

    Looks like a great score Luai! I would love to see some of your builds in the 70 section here! Did you ever finish up that FJ73 rock crawler some of us saw in your shop??

    Builds Canguro Racing's Monica

    I'll bet not many noticed it yet, but the little details from the front end swap added an epic touch!

    Cowzilla 2013 LC200 Rebuild

    It has been a whirlwind to get it ready to roll for Baja and chase for Jaos and Canguro Racing Team during the Baja 1000. Purchased new 285/75R17 KO2's and put them on some freshly powder coated RW wheels. Installed the Slee skid plates, roof rack (with Maxtrax mounts, Aluboxes and light bar)...

    DIY Tundra Brakes (BBK)

    Here is the 2016+ upgrade for reference: Big brakes for 08-15 using 16+ parts - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/big-brakes-for-08-15-using-16-parts.1284887/

    DIY Tundra Brakes (BBK)

    I just finished the 2016+ upgrade. Drilling out the knuckle to 9/16 to fit the new hardware was not a much of an issue.

    Cowzilla 2013 LC200 Rebuild

    Been working on the suspension install and figured I would show some Tundra swap porn. This is a solution that fixes the inner tie rod end length issue. It uses the inside part of a LC200 and the outside part of the Tundra inner TRE. It isn't cheap but it sure is clean! Fit together perfectly...

    Builds Paul R's BJ73 (Milo) Restomod Build

    Not too much to update on unfortunately. I finally have all the drive train ready to rock and roll and just need to carve out some time to work on it. I also bought another BJ73 for parts. Work has been absolutely crazy this year and has taken more than its fair share of time, but it pays the...
